In the middle of working on that album, [[wikipedia:9/11|9/11]] happened while we were in the studio. We sank deeper into making a dark record to reflect that time. When we started this new album, we both felt the world had become even darker and more unpredictable than it was during [[wikipedia:9/11|9/11]]. Wars, terrorism, natural disasters were happening one after another. But our reaction was not to reflect that but to create an escapist record that stands in contrast to these times. Something more utopian and completely unrelated to the current state of the world.}} |

Note: Translated by ChatGPT-4o
A music of struggle, possessing a firm will and ideals, even without words.
Protest music that refuses to accept the absurdities and tragedies happening in this era.
This is exactly what defines Boards of Canada.
Their third album, The Campfire Headphase, released three and a half years after their previous work, unfolds a dazzling utopian world.
However, within the gaps of its fantastical sound lies a sense of pain, acknowledging that this beautiful world has already been lost.
In other words, capturing this excessively beautiful "lost future" is their protest against the abominable world we live in.
We must liberate Boards of Canada's music from the narrow genre of ambient electronic music.
Similarly, we must free their music from the image of being instrumental music without any assertions, ideology, or irony.
Because Boards of Canada's music is a music of struggle with solid ideals, a music of resistance that never succumbs to the current reality.
Boards' third album, The Campfire Headphase, released three and a half years after their previous work, Geogaddi, is probably the most beautiful record released this year.
No matter when or where you listen to it, it invites you into a comfortable reverie, as if flowing through an ideal utopia.
From the gentle sound of the acoustic guitar rising from beyond the sound of rippling waves, to the layered rainbow textures on top of steady breakbeatsâthere is a beauty and harmony that makes you want to immerse yourself in this comfort forever. It's a truly beautiful work that, once in your hands, you will never want to let go of.
But in truth, this record is not just about comfort. It expresses a beauty and harmony that once surely existed in this world, but also coexists with a sense of pain that most of it has now been lost. There is a deep feeling of melancholy. Like looking at a happy childhood photo with family who are no longer in this world, there is a sweet and sour sadness spreading very quietly.
Happy memories, and the pain of them being lost and existing only in the pastâthis contrast is precisely Boards of Canada's assertion. In other words, "Why has that wonderful world vanished?" Boards' music, which depicts the ultimate world of beauty, is a form of nostalgia as a protest, a melancholy as an objection to the current state of the world that has been changed mainly by the governments of advanced countries over the past century.
The following is a written interview with the two members of Boards of Canada, Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin, who spoke candidly about our prepared questions.
interview with MIKE SANDISON
AND MARCUS EOIN
"When you look at the current situation, there are times when you feel inspired to create something dark and difficult, inspired by the chaos. However, the best approach is to go against that and create something fresher and more positive. After all, the world's media is doing a good enough job of scaring people on a daily basis. Our music has dark parts, but the underlying message is always hope and freedom."
"Politics influences everything. Some of the greatest and most important music in history has been born from protest: 70s dub and reggae, the early 80s urban new wave, the early 90s anti-commercial grunge scene. In fact, the very origins of popular music stem from black slaves. Beautiful music nourished by the worst circumstances was passed down orally."
